PlayStation 3 exploit using a TI84 calculator

[Brandon Wilson] came up with a way to exploit the Play Station using a TI84 calculator. This uses the same PSGroove open source code that we looked at last week. That package was running on the Teensy, which is currently sold out (we’d guess because people want to run the exploit). There’s a video demonstration of this new trick after the break. The calculator connects via a USB A to USB mini-B cable which comes with the calculator and is also used to charge the PS3 controllers. Once the connection is made, launch the software on the calculator, power cycle the PS3, and turn it on with the familiar power-eject button presses. The only problem with the system is that the calculator needs to be connected every time you boot.

I actually found myself forced to buy a calculator for school, so i got the ti-84 just so i could do this with it as well. Wont be long before theres an explosion of homebrew, and when there is, ill be there in the middle of it :D

I personally still prefer the PIC18f2550 hex that was released a few days ago its a lot cheaper and can be done in 30 mins or less if you have a pic programer handy or 90mins max if you have to build one from scratch.

I havent upgraded because of the other os thing. And I would be tempted to do this since Sony ::censored:: me without a kiss. But I wont. But I got to tell ya I love that someone is doing them how they did me.
